Engineered bio-inspired coating for passive flow control
Flow separation and vortex shedding are some of the most common phenomena experienced by bluff bodies under relative motion with the surrounding medium. They often result in a recirculation bubble in regions with adverse pressure gradient, which typically reduces efficiency in vehicles and increases loading on structures. Here, the ability of an engineered coating to manipulate the large-scale ...
متن کاملNovel Bio-inspired Aquatic Flow Sensors
Inspired by the roles of hair cells in nature, this study aims to develop and characterize two new sets of novel flow sensors. One set of sensors developed and studied in this work are flow sensors fabricated using carbon nanomaterials. These sensors are made by embedding carbon nanotubes (CNT) and carbon nanohorns (CNH) into a polymeric substrate and then tested by flowing a conductive aqueous...
متن کاملA tracked robot with novel bio-inspired passive “legs”
For track-based robots, an important aspect is the suppression design, which determines the trafficability and comfort of the whole system. The trafficability limits the robot's working capability, and the riding comfort limits the robot's working effectiveness, especially with some sensitive instruments mounted on or operated. To these aims, a track-based robot equipped with a novel passive bi...
متن کاملBio-inspired Practicalities: Collective Behaviour using Passive Neighbourhood Sensing
Implementing collective behaviour in cooperative multi-agent systems requires several practical constraints to be addressed. In some environments, communication bandwidth is a critical constraint which may compromise the intended cooperative behaviour. This paper introduces a bio-inspired model which invokes collective behaviour in a multi-agent system using passive sensing without any explicit...
متن کاملBio-inspired all-optical artificial neuromast for 2D flow sensing.
We present the design, fabrication and testing of a novel all-optical 2D flow velocity sensor, inspired by a fish lateral line neuromast. This artificial neuromast consists of optical fibres inscribed with Bragg gratings supporting a fluid force recipient sphere. Its dynamic response is modelled based on the Stokes solution for unsteady flow around a sphere and found to agree with experimental ...
